  Since purchasing tumlr.org I have realised that I am going to need more features for my blog and would like to forward domain name tumlr.org to a different IP address? I have got hosting arranged already is this something I would need to pay extra for?

  These are two of the A Records I have tried:
  A % 79.170.44.78
  A * 79.170.44.78

  Thanks,

  Chris

  It is not possible at the moment to change the A record for the domain itself or the www subdomain.

  If you want to use the domain with another host, you will need to set up your domain to use your host DNS servers as explained here.
